database design tool question [closed]
is there a good database design tool can generate sql script to create database (tables) in major database (Oracle, MySQL, SQL server, Sybase) without any changes?
Which de开发者_开发百科sign tool are you think is good.
I prefer Power Architect, for the same reasons I listed in this question:
- Accesses source databases via JDBC
- Connects to multiple source databases concurrently
- Compares data models & database structures and identifies discrepancies
- Drag-and-drop source tables & columns into the playpen
- Remembers the origin of each column
- Generates source-to-target visual Mapping Reports
- Forward/reverse engineers PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server & more
- Saves source data structure snapshots in the project, so you can work remotely
- All project data is stored in an easy-to-parse XML format
- OLAP schema modeling: Cubes, Measures, Dimensions, Hierarchies & Levels
- GPL (version 3) licensed
...and a couple reasons of my own:
- runs on basically any platform
- has fairly nice keyboard support for fast model development
- relatively useful diagram auto-layout
I've used Datanamic's DeZign for Databases with success. It's a graphical interface that can generate the scripts for almost every major database.
I am using Enterprise Architect. I use it for all of my design UML based use cases, Architectural views, class/collaboration diagrams and database schema. Its great. One can generate script very easilly.
Maybe you could consider using the UML2DB SQL generation service:

Choose your UML tool (e.g. ArgoUML), draw a class diagram, (optional) configure some code-generation options in the web interface and it's done. Forget about using stereotypes or profiles. Let the service use common-sense to do the generation for you. All major database vendors supported.
